As we walked around Port Townsend, we came across a little cafe called "Tommyknocker's Cornish Pasty." With the name alone, I knew we had to try it! Luckily they posted a menu on the outside, so we pretty much knew what we wanted going in. Although I have to mention, my mind swayed a couple of different times towards three or four other items, in the long run, Vegans Shepard Pie Pasty won out!

This little cafe was clean, uncluttered, with a menu full of tasty-sounding delights. We ordered and promptly took a seat and waited. A few minutes later, out came our pasty (by the way we split it) with house dipping sauce on the side; the smell alone reassured me I had chosen the right place to have lunch! The Vegan Shepards Pasty included a homemade ground beef (cauliflower, walnuts, mushroom), onions, carrots, green peas, and mashed potatoes surrounded by a delicate, slightly flaky crust and a housemade vegan brown sauce on the side. What can I say about it? It was heavenly, with and without the sweet, savory brown sauce. Also, what a perfect place for vegans; they offer up several dishes just for vegans, and they all sound just as good! The housemade sauce itself was so yummy and reminded me of a cross between HP Sauce and A1 Sauce.

The employee who took our order was friendly enough, with no leaps and bounds of friendliness, and she never went out of her way to check on us or offer more water, but she wasn't rude either; and not enough to deter me from ever going back!

Tommyknockers Cornish Pasty's location is 711 Water Street, Port Townsend, Washington, the heart of downtown. Caddy cornered from 1st Security Bank.

For anyone wanting an incredible meal while supporting this extraordinary small business, then you must try Tommyknockers; I'm pretty positive you won't be disappointed!
